The rayon thread 7 out of 10 professionals specify for their demanding commercial machines. Why? For exactly the same reasons you should: high tensile strength and exceptional color fastness.

Made in Germany from 100% viscose filament, Madeira Rayon is a stronger thread from the first inch to the last yard, making it ideal for today’s sophisticated computerized sewing and embroidery machines. Each color is dyed in a painstaking process that gives you a consistency and longevity unequaled by the competition.

Perfect for quilting, decorative stitching and embellishment, it can be used on all fabrics from the finest silk to the toughest leather or denim.

A typical embroidery design contains 6,000 stitches. This means each 220 yard/200 m Smart Spool with its 40,000 stitches per spool will produce 40 designs on average. That's plenty of thread for most home embroiderers. In fact, with the Smart Spool size, you can afford to buy thread more often and experiment with new colors and textures.

Madeira’s more traditional Smart Spool shape eliminates the “drop off” and tangling problems associated with the elongated spools many other manufacturers use. And, all Madeira Smart Spools come with double locking end caps to keep thread neat and tidy.
